Hi,

I've recently launched my business but things have been going fairly slow cause it takes so much time to market myself. I've made maybe a few hundred but that's generally it. I've been documenting all of my expenses and income but I haven't gotten around to opening a separate business account yet (which I know is required for LLCs).

Well, I was recommended to get an LLC (I'm in CA) and I went through the process of filing but now I'm just concerned about where I'm at for tax purposes. So now I'm thinking I shouldn't have bothered filing the LLC, despite these recommendations and just go with the sole proprietor since it's not like I have significant income coming in.

So I'm wondering if I should keep this LLC filed or should I request for it to be cancelled? And if so, how? If not, then what recommendations do you have?

Thanks.

Live could be okay, but more specifically I'm wanting to catch an episode of Piers Morgan that will be on next week and I don't want to miss it. I could catch it live though I'm a bit concerned about the time cause I'm in Pacific time and the live feed would probably be Eastern. Does anybody know of a site that replays an episode of Piers Morgan or where I can possibly get a live feed?

I have a flight to ORD Chicago early in the morning. About how much would it be for a taxi to the San Francisco airport? Are there any tolls along the way that I'd have to pay as well? If I agree to a flat rate do I need to tip or is that included?

Thanks.

I'm 26 years old and I've been working towards trying to set proper boundaries with my mother for quite a while now. She's very negative, always complaining. I've been to therapists several times to learn how to deal with her. My recent therapist and I are pretty sure she's depressed and NPD -- maybe something else.

Anyway, I've been living overseas for two years (which she didn't support at all) and now I'm back for a month and living back with my parents. I've managed to avoid her and any issues for a while but now with less than 2 weeks left she started with guilt trips and manipulation again. Today she made a comment about how selfish and self absorbed I am that I haven't been spending that much time with my grandparents. To set my boundary, I replied in saying how that hurt my feelings and that I don't appreciate her comment. She then burst out yelling at me and crying about how she never knew her grandparents and stuff. I don't know whether I should've said it or not, but my reaction at that point was to say that that sounds more like her problem than mine. I then just got completely away from her cause I could feel in my body I was pretty shaken up ( still am actually).

Is there any other way to handle this? I usually just try to avoid as much as possible but she still has moments of acting up. I always try to appear calm and unaffected cause I know she seems to feed off seeing me hurt.

Any other ideas? I know I've been on the right track but I keep feeling like I haven't refined my reactions well enough cause she just doesn't get it.

Thanks!

I'm looking to move to Pleasant Hills for Graduate school. Since I'm from the Midwest and I'm hoping to find an apartment in that area that I wouldn't need a car. Would it be difficult to get around to get around town in general? Like, restaurants, grocery stores, doctors, and so on?

I'm a female, and looking through my dream journal I've noticed that I have a trend of having negative male figures in my dreams. Some of these of are guys that I know in real life (even though I have a good relationship with them IRL) and some that I've had rocky moments with. Many are unknown male figures.

These are trends I've noticed:

~ Being cheated on or being pushed to be "the other woman" with guys in my dreams, which they continue to push even after I told them I am not interested.

~ Having drugs put in my pocket by an unknown male figure, getting set up by another male figure, and then getting blamed by other male figures for having the drugs... which resulted in my dad trying to stand up for me but then he died.

~ Most of my dreams involve something along the lines of a male figure asking me questions or I'm having a conversation with them and they respond with "You're wrong -- you don't know what you're talking about" and then they go off negatively talking about me to others. So then I either want to hide or I feel ashamed for even speaking to them.

~ Then, to seemingly contradict this a bit, I'd have some dreams where I'd be offering support to male figures in my life by going to their sports games or whatever other activity they have because "I need to be there for them".

I've been reading about Jung's anima/animus and I've been trying to figure out what these trends would mean. I'm guessing that my animus (male part of myself) is negative somehow? Could someone who knows more about this explain this to me please?

A doctor of mine told me that I probably have IBS-C about a year or so ago. I have been able to manage it sometimes but it is still never consistent and any food that's "off" a routine can easily throwit completely off. I've been living overseas since August and since then I've noticed that I'm much more fatigued. My acne has also gotten considerably worse -- the worst it has ever been in my life. I've thought that it is because of the pollution, so I go to the sauna every other day in hopes to help this, but it doesn't work. Lately I've been getting headaches as a result to my constipation and it has been getting progressively worse. Right now despite taking laxatives I still can't completely "go". My head is pounding and I feel very nauseated... I'm debating at this point if it is a migraine. I've wanted to do a lot of things today, but it seems that my body just hasn't allowed me to. I feel like despite all of my attempts to be positive and active, the fatigue and digestive problems keep making me depressed. I have no idea what to do at this point or what to even change or try to check out with a doctor. I'm only 25 and I shouldn't have this many physical problems already.

Any idea or suggestions are welcome.

I had this dream last night that I could go into further detail with, but I'm going to jump to the ending that has been puzzling me.

I was in my front yard with two of my old teachers and my mom was giving us games. She gave my two old teachers a game, but she gave me a black case for my ipod nano. I told her that this is just a case, not a game, and I need another one. She told me to just deal with it.

I then look over and there is a greenish-blackish chalkboard that I had written on. On the board, I wrote: "I love (with a heart shape) you Mara" and the next line down said "I've worked so hard but now I'm depressed", but I didn't write "depressed" instead a picture of a sad face with blue tears was shown. Next to the name Mara there was a face that would be similar to one on a totem pole. Whatever the totem pole represented, was where we were supposed to go next. Then I woke up.

I've been puzzled about "Mara" in particular after this dream, and after googling it there is a lot of folklore and religions that have representation of this as being a demon of dreams (though there are different variations of the word: mare, marah, etc.) and is the origin of the word "nightmare".

Has anybody had this come up in their dreams as well?

Does anybody have any idea as to what this could mean?

I currently earned my BS in secondary education and have my initial secondary certificate for Illinois. I have really enjoyed special education while substitute teaching so I am wanting to earn my masters in Special Ed. I would like to complete this either within 12 months or online -- I am open to go to any state.

What universities have MEd in Special Education that can be completed online or in 12 months?

If I complete my masters in SPED and already have my IL certification, would this qualify me to be endorsed in SPED in any state (as far as coursework, because I know there is still background checks and other requirements that different states have)?

Thanks in advance!!

If you drilled a hole through a Devonian period rock, what geologic systems would you pass through before you reached the percambrian igneous or metamorphic basement rocks from youngest to oldest?

First of all, I am 24 years old and a recent college gradate (with bachelors). I have recently made a decision in what I would like to take a teaching job overseas for a 12 month contract rather than take a teaching job in the US for this first year. My mother has basically gone crazy over this. I told her a week ago, and she just told me I was insane. The next day she told me to take this other job offer (that I didn't want) and I said "No, I decided I want to teach abroad instead as I told you before". This resulted in an emotional breakdown and me eventually leaving because of her arguing and yelling at me. Two days later (yesterday) I'm at the house I'm renting and I went upstairs to lay down in my room because I had a headache. My roomies dogs were barking and I figured they always do that so I didn't think twice someone was here. A while later, I walk downstairs and she left me this note saying how I owe her my cell phone, house key, gas card, insurance card, my car, and tuition paid.

What was interesting though was that I left ALL those things downstairs on my desk when she came in, and she never touched anything.

I know she won't do anything, but its just aggravating to deal with such dramatic episodes in an attempt to control me.

How can I deal with this? Right now I'm just wanting this unnecessary stress to go down and be able to function normal on a daily basis without dealing with such drama.

So I am recently starting the pill again for a second time. I was previously on the pill about a year and a half ago -- started on a generic Loestrin that was horrible (broke out all the time, no sex drive, spotting, etc.), got on Yaz (that was awesome until the breakthrough bleeding after 9 months), then got on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for maybe 4 months before I stopped taking it mostly for financial reasons and I felt I'd be okay without it.

Got off, felt great for several months. Over time my cramps started coming back and progressively getting worse. The last two times before I got on again this time were horrible, so that's why I started again. The PMS I had before I started the pill pack was horrid -- very very depressed, no energy, crying for no reason (maybe it was PMDD - who knows?)... and when I started the cramps were so bad I couldn't sit in class because I thought I'd need to puke. A couple days on the pill helped the cramps considerably and my emotions seemed to get straightened out.

So I get to the end of this pill back (its Tri-Sprintec... the generic Ortho Tri-Cyclen) by taking the inactive pills. Was spotting old blood right when I started the inactive pills and by the 3rd day I started my period... and it is HEAVY and with bad cramps (but at least not as bad as last month where I couldn't sit and nearly puked). I've been needing to use super tampons and I need to change them every 3-4 hours... and even then its maybe too long.

I've NEVER had this heavy of a period when on the pill before (in fact, I've never used super sized tampons when on the pill)... so I'm a bit concerned... is this normal? Should I wait it out and see how the next month is? Should I see my doctor?

With both of my ex boyfriends this has seemed to be the inevitable question that I've had to deal with but could never really find a solution. I always fall into a situation where he's lacking in doing something that makes me feel unloved and hurt... but how can I tell him that without making him be inadequate an offended? For example, I want him to call me more so we can talk and have more "quality time" but he's busy. I understand how he's busy with work but I want to be happy and him to be happy as well. I know that if he took more time to call more the relationship would flourish - but instead, they don't do anything consistently and they feel like they can't do anything right and dump me.

Ideas? Suggestions?

In your view, is love forever? Why or why not?

For guys only - how does sex change a relationship between you are your partner from an emotional standpoint? Does your feelings change for her? If so, then in what way? Does it make a difference to you if it happens too early or too late?

So my period is currently late for 14 days now. I've been having cramps and bad breakouts (probably the worst I've had in a year or so). I took two pregnancy tests about a week or less ago and they both came out negative (these were first response by the way) and the one I took was first thing in the morning urine. Plus, it wouldn't quite make sense if I were pregnant because during the time I was ovulating my boyfriend wasn't even in the state. The only time I had sex that month was around day 22.

I've moved from home to college this past month and am living with two new other females. The last time I was late a week was the last time I moved so I figured it was that and then the fact that my hormones were trying to match theirs since I know that can happen. Their period have been a bit irregular this month as well.

I've felt shitty, with some random mood swings some days but overall not much out of the ordinary. I honestly just don't feel like I'm going to start any day soon -- and my cycle hasn't been like this at all since I've gotten off the pill last February. My cycle had been perfectly every 28 days, except the one time last May when I moved.

Any idea of what's going on??

I really wish my hormones would just balance out because my skin is flaring up as if I started new BC pills.

This is something that always troubles me. A lot of my friends aren't, but I've had a few that are.

I have one friend that was initially engaged at 18... supposed to get married at 19, but it didn't happen - jumped into another relationship a week after breaking off the marriage and got married to that guy this past summer... even though I still thought she rushed it for reasons I will not disclose. So currently I guess I can just hope it does work out.

I just don't quite understand why her and other females just seem so focused on getting married - as if its the end of the world if they are not married by a certain age. But not only that, but they'll kind of push it on their friends (like me) in trying to predict that you'll get married to your boyfriend and suggest things for your wedding when your not even engaged. Then if your not as obsessed as they are when you are actually getting married, they don't think you're excited.

Honestly, it drives me nuts.

All the while, I'm the person that's thought of a few things over the years that'd be nice for a wedding or whatever but its not like I've had it planned for years like some females do. I just want to go with the flow and if it happens it does and if it doesn't I'll find my way to survive. I want to be on the safe side and not rush things if its not the best time to do so. I want to be 100% sure if I go forth with something like that because I don't want to go through a divorce. I've always told myself that if I have any doubt on the big day I'm jumping out the window.

So why are some females obsessed with it so much??

So I am currently going on my 10th day after my due date for monthly period (it was supposed to be 8/31) and not quite sure what's going on. I've have some mild cramps and have been rather irritable/moody on some days. I have been getting breakouts for the last week which only typically happens during PMS. I've gotten a few headaches. There's just some part of the day where I just don't feel well for any given reason.

I'm not on the birth control pill -- I've been off for probably 6 or more months now and my period has been consistent (and I mean perfectly on the same day) since I've gotten off, which the exception to when I moved last spring and I was exactly a week late. I figured at first that it's just because I moved again this past month and am in a different environment again, but I just didn't think it'd be this late.

As for sex and protection I didn't have sex on what was supposed to be my ovulation date or around it. Though I did on my 20-22 days, which the protection of a condom.

I've taken a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I'm thinking of taking another one tomorrow morning since that's when HPT is supposed to be the highest.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on? Anyone else have a similar experience??

... and instead, just seem to start just hanging around with other people that are married instead of their single friends that they've known longer?
